www.gohawaii.com/big-island  Hawaii is a large island and in order to see many of the sites, you will most likely want to rent a car --
if not for the entire week, then an onsite rental for a day or two.  When booking tours, check to see if hotel pick-up is provided or if you will need to arrange transportation to get to the tour.
